I see you have already commited, thank you!  I did test both UFS1/2
and both work nicely.  I can list and cat any files on a UFS fs now.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to boot any of the BSD kernels with
grub2 :o(

I recompiled my NetBSD kernel with the MULTIBOOT option enabled, but
I still get a 'magic broken' error when doing 'multiboot /netbsd'.

On FreeBSD I use grub0.95 to load /boot/loader as 'the kernel' and
everything just works.  Using grub2, I can't tell exactly what I am
supposed to use, e.g. insmod, module, or [whatever].  There is no
'kernel' command any more, right?

I can use 'linux' to boot linux with no problems, which is the easy
part.

I can use chainload on any BSD as long as the boot record is installed
properly (which is a bit tricky and dangerous for the BSD newbie).

Any hints would be most welcome, and thanks again.
